JEC Group have brought toge­ther the international community of composites leaders and executives in our Composites Circle as an unique networking opportunity to meet with both peers and future partners.

From baseball and hockey to golf, tennis, and cycling, Composites for Performance in Sports is the first international conference bringing forward all the latest composite technologies from the Sports and Recreation fields.

Co-organized by JEC Group and SPE, these two-days of conferences are a unique opportunity to discuss and learn more about the innovative applications composites offer.

Take part in JEC World, the leading international show for composites and advanced materials.

More than just an exhibition, JEC World provides a world-class opportunity to meet the right people through our planned events and additional programs, including : B2B meetings, Conferences & Presentations, Innovation planets, Startup Booster, Innovation Awards, Leadership Circle.

Dive into JEC World 2018 universe for a 360° view of the global composites industry!

The world of composites is young, dynamic and quickly growing into a vast range of segments, markets, applications and technologies.

To learn more about it, JEC Group proposes a wide range of publications that will allow you to learn all about the trends and forecasts of the composites industry, and about the key players from the sector.

JEC Group has published a new book « Overview of the global composites market - at the crossroads ». An in-depth analysis of the composites market and the materials’ potential, the book also highlights the challenges that lie ahead in the sector.

The industry sectors, users of non-renewable fibers, are now engaged in an eco-design approach. Structured to meet the demand of the Industry, JEC Group, the CELC’s European Scientific Committee and its industry’s R&D teams coordinated the first scientific book about the composite solutions natural fibers. « Flax and Hemp, a natural solution for the composite industry ».

This development, an industry first, provides the perfect lightweight alternative to large traditional heavy concrete and metal trench panels that normally need removing by a forklift to gain access to all important underground services. Fibrelite has launched a range of heavy duty D400 load.

"Having re-configured the internal fibreglass architecture we can meet the permanent set and test load requirements of BS EN 124, Class D400" explains David Holmes, Fibrelite's Technical Director and Head of Product Development. "What's more, no additional support beams are required".

Lightweight, Strong and Safe The request for 1.6m long, heavy duty trench covers initially came from a large power station in the North of England. Their engineers were exploring replacement options for extremely heavy and easily damaged concrete covers that had been installed years earlier. At the time, whenever these crumbling concrete panels needed removal to gain access to a trench, a forklift and lifting equipment would be required. The fact that with Fibrelite trench covers the task would become an easy and safe exercise, taking two technicians around ten seconds, made the choice to opt for Fibrelite's a simple one. The associated increase in productivity and significant reduction in costs were huge benefactors for the consulting engineers and customers alike.

Easy Safe Lifting and Replacement They can be used for a multitude of applications: from shopping centre walkways and industrial facilities to HGV loading areas in water treatment plants and power stations. No other covering system matches its easy lift, skid resistant or load carrying properties.

Fibrelite's manufacturing uses using multi-axial E glass fibre and a specially formulated resin matrix. The basic principle of this methodology is to dissipate load in the most effective way possible - something in which Fibrelite surpasses all competition.

This is never truer than in large and heavy duty covers such as the 1600 x 450mm, 40 tonne D400 load rated trench cover.
